Blimey, my external DVD drive already arrived - very nice and quiet, but doesn't draw enough juice from the USB bus to run without using the mains adaptor, grmmmbll. Maybe it'll be different once I'm using the iMac. Oh, and of course now I've had to get a UPS too, since the mains here are a bit unpredictable. Weird - first non-laptop computer I've owned since 1991!

iMac despatched today - they say it'll reach me on or before the 26th. Meanwhile, my extra ram arrived this morning - and then I had to start up my old truck so I could tow the delivery guy's van out of a ditch - all very manly stuff!

Migrating right now - photos to follow once I can get 'em off my phone .
First impressions: magic mouse, sleek but too thin for comfort, click is very loud! Keyboard will take some getting used to, but my old icekey was starting to pack up anyway. I'm glad I didn't go for the bigger screen, I'm already feeling agoraphobic. Sockets all on the back, pain in the arse. Shiny screen, annoying but I'll get used to it. 1tb hdd, more agoraphobia. Speakers, impressive!
I got a new remote too, has replaceable battery which is smart. Got the 3.36ghz processor and have 8gb ram, this better keep me going for a few years now .
